Running a farm in Ireland involves far more than tending to crops or managing livestock. It’s a business, a livelihood, and often a family legacy — all of which need protection. Farms face a unique combination of risks: property damage, machinery breakdowns, livestock...You must answer these questions honestly and in full. They are material to the underwriting of your policy and the calculation of the premium.
The answers you provide to the questions and the associated declarations will be used in the underwriting process to establish material
facts about you which influence the assessment and acceptance of cover, the setting of the terms, and the calculation of the premium. You
are obliged to respond to all of the questions posed by us in your application honestly and with reasonable care. If you don’t answer these
questions fully, honestly, to the best of your knowledge and with reasonable care, this may result (depending on the circumstances) in:
• delays in the processing of your claim;
• a reduction in the claim amount or refusal of a claim;
• the policy being treated as if it had been entered into on different terms; or
• the policy being cancelled from the start date (potentially without returning premiums) and with any subsequent claim not being paid.
You must tell us if there’s a change to anything that would affect any of the answers to these specific questions or any relevant additional
information in relation to this application, in the time after you’ve applied for your cover, but before your policy commences, such as a
change to your health, occupation, or leisure activities. If you don’t let us know about any changes affecting any of your answers before
policy commencement, then this may also result in the consequences set out in the bullet points in the above paragraph.
The Disability Act 2005 prohibits processing of genetic data in relation to insurance. Therefore you should not disclose any genetic
test or the results of any genetic test you may have had. You must however, tell us if you are having treatment or have had treatment
for, or are experiencing symptoms of a genetic condition. You will also be asked to give us full information about your family history,
including all genetic conditions.
The weight provided must be current and accurate. If you are currently pregnant, please tell us your weight immediately before your pregnancy
Your policy will not be placed in trust until Breeze has received a fully completed trust deed.

If you are a PEP, or a close relative or close associate of a PEP, we must apply enhanced customer due diligence procedures. You will be required to provide evidence of identity as part of your application. Further information and documentation will be requested, if required.
We are required to identify politically exposed persons (PEPs).
A PEP can be identified as having held one of the following prominent public functions within the last 12 months. Please note that the
below is a non-exhaustive list and if one has held any prominent position in any agency owned or controlled by the State then this should
be considered when determining if one is a PEP. In addition, a PEP may be a close relative or business associate of the following:
1. A specified official such as a head of state, head of government, government minister or deputy or assistant government minister.
2. A member of parliament, a similar legislative body or a member of the governing body of a political party.
3. A member of a supreme court, constitutional court or another high-level judicial body whose decisions are not typically subject to
appeal.
